The World Egg Throwing Federation is eggcited by the
prospect of a truly epic games as the Worlds best egg tossers converge onto
Swaton for June 24th and the 7th World Egg Throwing
Championships.

Teams have been practicing hard since the close of last
year’s season and promise a better than ever event.

Last year’s Champs, the Dutch, return again to take on the
World and their old rivals the Germans.

The Dutch team mainstay of Smink, with a new partner, has
just set a new World Recordin the Dutch
heats of 73.2m.

The Germans, this year submitting 2 teams, have experessed
that they see “No problem” as their teams are regularly making the catch at 55m
in training despite strong cross winds.They go on to say, “Any chimp can throw that distance outside
competition, they (the Dutch) won’t be able to take the heat on the day”.

The Dutch have responded with “The Germans, with no offence
meant to women, throw like big girls” and to prove the point are sending their
own female team to make their official third national pair.

Irish champ Paul Murphy has already confirmed that he will
be attending to defend his title in Russian Egg Roulette, as have the Latvians,
with their Trebuchet.

Although still to confirm travel arrangements, we expect
Joel Hicks (World Gravy Wrestling Champion and star of BGT) to once again to
step up to the mark to be target in the Throwing with Accuracy Challenge.

The World Egg Throwing Championships are to be held on
Sunday the 24th of June at Swaton in Lincolnshire and are be hosted
by Swaton Vintage Day.

All monies raised by the event are used to support local,
national and international good causes such ads Leukaemia Research, The Red
Cross, Air Ambulance provision, Children’s Hospices, and Shelter Box.
